I see why your head is in your hands but as despair cannot be allowed Lady I will make you smile. By such sorrow you make known there is no silver lining in your cloud I see why your head is in your hands. I do dare to presume I can pull backContinue reading “My Quest is Clear”

It’s okay not to be okay
After 25 years on Earth, I can finally say clearly, Being ashamed and too proud, I lost everyone I loved dearly. Punishing myself daily, too afraid to speak out, Pain and anguish inside me, I want to scream and shout. My battles with mental health and struggles to accept, Being labelled and branded, I wasContinue reading “It’s okay not to be okay”
Celluloid Man
On the silver screen A luminous presence on TV just 10 inches tall Theatrical and dashing Are the gestures Melodious the voice Every sentence is carefully delivered Method acting is what you’re into No you won’t easily repeat yourself Sometimes startingly original other times a parody of yourself Your name may beContinue reading “Celluloid Man”
Sea and Sand
By the sea where there’s castles and towers, She whiles away the evening hours, She sits and waits, but it isn’t time yet, For a ship to sail by, into a lovely sunset. The sea breeze is cool, it’s almost bracing, She finds it exciting, her heart starts racing, The sun goes down, bringingContinue reading “Sea and Sand”

Let’s Go Out
Let’s chill out for just a little while, I like your wide-awake crescent shaped smile, We could always go and see a movie, You are so cool, I think you’re groovy. We could play the Beatles and the Stones, Or if you like, Dylan or the Ramones, What about a ballad or a reallyContinue reading “Let’s Go Out”

We will all look back and remember specific things during this almost traumatic event.

Divided
It’s not anything new, that we have all got to keep a safe distance from each other because of the virus. Most of us are already living a life divided from others, regardless of who they are, and if they are related or not. The virus is only giving people a helping hand in this,Continue reading “Divided”
Jesus
Your light covers my darknessWhen I feel aloneWhen enemy seeks to destroy meYou stretch out your wings of protectionUpon my life,You cover me.You shield me in the palm of your hands.You forever watch over me.You soar like eaglesHigh in the sky.The armies of the LordDestroysDeliversHeals.The Lord rescues.

Song for Saturday Night
I miss the city lights hanging above me, The pretend stars, False promises in neon light. Watchin’ girls take their heels off and run into the night, Music flowin’ out of doorways that only lead down below. I miss walking home amidst the debris of the city. Lockdown’s been fun. I slowed down, Caught up,Continue reading “Song for Saturday Night”
